• "Bach Family 1 " Keys To Music, 30/09/06
  It's often said that Johann Sebastian Bach was a member of a vast dynasty of German musicians dating back several generations, but who were his musical forebears, and what did their music sound like? In this program, Graham undertakes a discovery tour of Bach's ancestors to find an amazing body of stunning music which now rarely sees the light of day.

• "Australian Connections " 4/06/06
  In the first of a new series of seven programs ranging from 1788 to the present day, Tim Dehn begins
  his own personal exploration of some of the music performed in Australia and much of which was also
  created here, together with the stories of those who heard it. Today's program begins with a five-octave
  piano that arrived with the First Fleet, continues with country dance music and the elegance of the flute
  and ends with Rossini, played at one of Sydney's first concerts in 1826; and we meet John Grant - one of
  Australia's first human rights activists.

  The middle of the nineteenth century is the setting for the second in this new series of seven programs in
  which Tim Dehn explores music heard and largely composed in Australia and links it to people and events here
  at the time. Today, a myopic Charles Sturt enduring the heat of the Simpson Desert, the pitfalls of the
  Victorian gold rush, a visit to Sydney by the ex-wife of Home, Sweet Home composer, Henry Bishop, and three
  weekends of Aussie Rules without a single goal scored; not to mention the first defeat of an English cricket
  team by Australia.

  Throughout history the church has inspired and probably paid for more music than any other establishment.
  But what sort of music is appropriate for God? Even if we believe God to be unchanging, religious music
  has been as subject to fashion as any other sort of music. Andrew Ford considers these changes, from
  mediaeval times to the present.

• "Showtime ", Music and Fashion, 15/01/06 (Part 3 of 6)
  The idea that music might be Art is pretty recent. Composers have always needed to earn money and if you
  weren't employed by the Church or in some royal household, you had to market yourself. Handel's operas were
  18th-century London's equivalent of Cats and Phantom of the Opera. But how did Handel become a Great
  Classical Composer? The status of music alters when it moves from being popular to "worthwhile". Andrew Ford
  asks how this affects the way we listen.

• "Fame ", Music and Fashion, 22/01/06 (Part 4 of 6)
  Bach was the most famous organist of his day, Liszt was the most famous pianist of his, and Mahler's
  fame rested on his prodigious gifts as a conductor. Now we think of all three of them as composers.
  Great ones, too. But we're lucky to know their music at all. The reputations of composers in their
  lifetimes are subject to the whims of public taste, and that isn't always focused on music. In pop,
  from Jimi Hendrix to Eva Cassidy, death can enhance a career. But sometimes famous musicians take
  their music with them to the grave. Nearly a century after Bach's death, it needed Mendelssohn to revive interest in his music

• "The Colour of Money ", Music and Fashion, 29/01/06 (Part 5 of 6)
  Sound recordings, radio and television have completely changed the way we hear music. They've also affected
  our responses. For one thing, fashions move in and out of our lives faster than ever before. An instant hit
  in January is seldom a hit in June. In the 1940s, classical music was part of mainstream radio. The
  expression "popular classics" wasn't an oxymoron. But as commercial music became multinational, not only
  classical music but also jazz lost its popularity. Could we possibly be witnessing the death throes of
  certain types of music, simply because powerful corporations have convinced us they are unfashionable?

• "Stardust Memories ", Music and Fashion, 5/02/06 (Part 6 of 6)
  There's nothing new about nostalgia. Looking back is reassuring in times of uncertainty and,
  although nostalgia might seem to be the very opposite of fashion, in fact it can create new
  fashions. Nostalgia for a time when the world still had style leads to cocktail drinking and
  Diana Krall. Nostalgia for a time when we were all in touch with our spirituality leads to an
  enthusiasm for Gregorian chant. Nostalgia for simpler times when people just sat around in
  huts and made up songs leads to World Music. Of course, it's possible that such times never
  actually existed...
